Welcome to "Life After Christian Fundamentalism."

My wife Angela and I took Nate and his fiancée Angela out to enjoy the evilness of The Varsity. Almost instantly we hit it off, and felt like we had been friends for years. Not only did we have similar backgrounds, but we all shared the desire to help others who were leaving Christian fundamentalism.

I asked Nate to write about his experiences in Atlanta on my blog Life Without Faith. He graciously accepted and you can read it here.

As support for this group, Nate has graciously allowed Atheist Nexus to post the entire transcript of his Atlanta speech. It is long, emotionally moving, and a must read. Check it out here.

BJ, Mark, here. I,d enjoy hearing your story. It is very important to tell that story and hear yourself rehearse and reinforce YOUR reasons for the MASSIVE choise you, ve made which has implications for most every area of your (and your families) life!!!

No YEC theologians (trained liars) have any scientific evidence, just glib subjective observations like, it appears to be designed. They have drawn all their concepts from apparent design. It's all they really have to back up their Genesis based lies.

I’ve been saying that all along, Joan—even in Mirror Reversal. The universe is indifferent to us and belief in the contrary has resulted in a deadening stagnation and stultification of human progress. It’s taken from Stephen Jay Gould’s punctuated equilibrium. We in an evolutionary plateau and are now beginning to bring away and continuing to evolve through science.

I just put up a blog post regarding my recent attempted debate over creationism with a YEC theologian. I thought some people here might find it helpful and/or insightful, since it springs from my own past in Fundamentalist Christianity. Let me know what you guys think.

The above piece was written for thenewhumanism.org, an affiliate of Harvard Univ., on the revival of the Epicurean philosophical tradition. I'm sharing it here because a lot of the therapeutic work that Epicureans did revolved around helping people overcome the vestiges of fear-based religion and many of you might find it useful. The webpage for our group is societyofepicurus.com.
